# Elon Musk: It's time to return to the moon on a large scale

> Elon Musk stated on X, "It's time to return to the Moon on a large scale," marking a significant shift in SpaceX's strategy, temporarily putting the "Mars First" plan on hold to focus on the lunar mission scheduled for March 2027. SpaceX has acquired xAI, with a post-merger valuation of $1.25 trillion, and revealed that future space photovoltaic efficiency is high, with costs only 1/10 of those on Earth. Additionally, there are rumors that SpaceX may conduct an IPO later this year, raising up to $50 billion

Just now, Musk posted a cinematic line on X: "Time to go back to the Moon at scale."

This may validate the exclusive report from The Wall Street Journal: SpaceX is making a strategic shift, temporarily putting "Mars first" on hold and fully focusing on the lunar mission scheduled for March 2027!

This sci-fi vision seems a bit ridiculous to netizens. "BACK? Have we ever been to the Moon at scale?"

However, from "Mars fanatic" to "pragmatic lunar landing," Musk has indeed put in the effort:

-   A trillion-dollar giant is born: SpaceX has officially acquired xAI, and the merged valuation has soared to $1.25 trillion!
-   Space AI data center: Musk revealed that space photovoltaics do not require batteries and are highly efficient, with future "space computing power" costs being only 1/10 of those on Earth.
-   IPO imminent: Rumors suggest that SpaceX may go public later this year, raising up to $50 billion.
